“At this stage, the decision is detrimental, but not decisive with respect to Manatt’s reputation because the suit has not has not reached its conclusion,” said Joseph Lavitt, a law professor…. “Manatt may never be found liable for malicious prosecution because there are other elements to be considered, including the element of malice.
